I’m not an open source dev, but I do have to maintain a codebase that depends on a package that’s written by a lone individual in their spare time and all I can say is that there really needs to be an engineering license for professional software engineering. Because that design decision should never have been approved.
Yes, I know but that meme refers to things like openssl. I’m referring to devs who decide to depend on no name, not even beta tested packages that some college kid wrote to pad their resume. The college kid did nothing wrong, the professional who decided to use a package like that is the person who shouldn’t be working in dev.

Alas, that’s the very nature of open source development.
